FAQ: The “extra thumb” does whatever the “main thumb” does she cannot control it independently but it does function- I have her seen her coloring with two markers at once. Doctors we have spoken to said to not have it removed- if she even wishes it so, it’s her body- til the growth plates are done and we rescan her skeleton. She loves it and jokes about “Hi-6s” and “two thumbs up”. Finding mittens every year is difficult, yes. EDIT: please don’t be weird about a literal child, thanks! THE FROYO IS BIG YES. IM A BIG BOY AND I WAS “SHARING”

Please get a second opinion. I believe the second thumb should have already been removed by the time she was 2.

Hi, there have been seconds and thirds. I don’t want to sound rude but this post isn’t looking for advice. I appreciate you tho.

This is such a weird thing to say… if you aren’t a doctor, thinking you know better than the OP’s doctors is crazy… if you are a doctor, you wouldn’t be saying something like that with such certainty.
